David joins the Perth office from HWL Ebsworth Lawyers where he was the leader of the Perth Construction and Infrastructure practice group. He is joined by Simon di Rosso also from HWL Ebsworth Lawyers.

Fraser McMillan, Head of Construction Advisory & Disputes in Australia, said, "David and Simon are welcome additions to the firm's construction disputes team in Australia which is continuing to go from strength to strength.
